Police say two men are in hospital with serious head injuries after their car was surrounded and they were allegedly beaten with baseball bats early Wednesday morning.
Halton Regional Police say the incident happened on the border between Halton and Peel regions, where three men were in a car that was surrounded by several "suspect vehicles."
Investigators say "a number of males attacked the three men with baseball bats," and two of the men suffered serious head injuries.
They say the third man's injuries are minor.
Investigators say the victims range in age from 26 to 30 and are all from the Brampton area.
On Thursday, Halton Regional Police confirmed that it was a targeted incident, as one of the victims “brokered a real estate deal between a Brampton property owner” and one of the suspects.
The suspect has been identified as Rankirat Singh, 20, of Brampton. He is wanted on two counts of aggravated assault and one count of assault causing bodily harm, and police are urging him to turn himself in.
